If your already using this method, sorry I'm not sure what happened to
it. Working fine 45.3.0
Hope this helps.
Thanks. The settings button | History has a "Restore Closed Tabs"
option that isn't in the History pulldown. When you first start Firefox,
the option reads "Restore Closed Windows". Neither actually does the
same thing as the "restore previous session" button used to do. I have
no idea what criteria Firefox uses to decide which windows/tabs to
restore, but they aren't the ones that were open when I closed Firefox.
There also doesn't seem to be way of customizing the menu bar to include
the option, or even the option in settings button | History section. The
History | Restore Closed Tabs is gone.
I'm using Firefox 45.4.0.
I preferred it when Firefox automatically restored your last session. I
didn't mind it when it started asking you nor even when it made you
press a button on the startup page. I gather from the increasing
difficulty in restoring the previous session, someone has decided that
people simply shouldn't do it. :)
